Glossary Secondary Hair Follicles

smaller hair-producing structures that develop alongside primary follicles

Secondary hair follicles are smaller hair-producing structures that develop alongside primary hair follicles, typically in mammals with dense fur or wool. They produce finer, shorter hairs that contribute to the overall thickness and insulation properties of the animal's coat. These follicles are crucial for maintaining the density and texture of the fur, especially in species adapted to cold environments.

research Seasonal Gene Expression Profile Responsible For Hair Follicle Development In Angora Goats

2 citations , March 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)”

In this study, the expression of certain hair follicle-related genes differed between growth phases in Angora goats, with HOXC13 showing overexpression during the anagen phase, potentially influencing the mohair's shine and texture.

research Effect of biotin on growth, viability and apparent DNA synthesis in cultured secondary hair follicles of the Angora goat

January 1998 in “Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science”

This study examined the role of biotin deficiency and adequacy on cell proliferation and DNA synthesis in isolated mohair follicles.

research Effect of biotin on growth, viability and apparent DNA synthesis in cultured secondary hair follicles of the Angora goat

January 1998 in “Proceedings of the British Society of Animal Science”
